Let us
now examine the honku movement's increasing influence on public policy
and corporate strategy:

October 7, 2002: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announces
the start of "Operation
Silent Night." The initative targets 24 locations around the
city as "high noise zones" for police enforcement. "Far
and away," says the Mayor. "The most vexing concern for New
Yorkers is that there is too much disruptive noise in our communities."
Publicly, Mayoral spokesman Ed Skyler does not deny that the Mayor's new
campaign is a response to Honku.

October 25, 2002: To promote the launch of its new MSN 8.0 service,
Microsoft Corporation plasters
butterfly decals on lamp posts, fire boxes and other public property
throughout Manhattan. Microsoft, renowned in the technology industry for
"borrowing" the ideas of other companies and calling it "innovation,"
has not denied that their ad campaign was lifted directly out of the Honku
playbook.Finish That Honku!
A fun new game for the entire family. It works like this: Someone starts
a honku... and someone else finishes it...
